UNSPSC 31311513: Brass welded or brazed pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311513 Brass welded or brazed pipe assemblies (Commodity) covers polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride pipe, fittings, and related materials that state and local governments procure as stock supplies for water infrastructure, stormwater systems, and utility maintenance. The recent opportunities show cities and counties buying these products on an as-needed or annual basis for distribution to maintenance crews, capital projects, and departmental operations rather than as components of a single large capital job. Issuing bodies include city departments of public works and utilities (Phoenix, Augusta, Palm Bay, Southlake), county water authorities and stormwater programs (Alameda County Water District), and special-purpose districts managing regional water systems. The code sees steady activity across water, sewer, and drainage applications.

Representative recent opportunities span the Southwest, Southeast, and California. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department posted IFB 27SW0447 on September 30, 2026, seeking supply of HDPE pipe (1.5" to 24" diameter), PVC pipe (0.75" to 4" diameter), fittings, and hand tools on a three-year term with optional extensions, with delivery required within 24 to 48 hours and local inventory maintained for the Phoenix Aviation Department across three airports; the contract is subject to DBE-Neutral compliance under 49 CFR Part 26. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-116 due September 29, 2026, for various HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections (8" to 36" diameter) for down-drain installation on a one-year term with four optional renewals, with a local-bidder preference for projects under $100,000 and MWBE program requirements regardless of dollar amount. Both solicitations require firm-fixed pricing for the full contract term, FOB destination, and no minimum-order volumes. Activity concentrates in Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and California, reflecting water-infrastructure renewal and drainage maintenance across multiple climate zones and regulatory environments.
